House of Aromatic’s Essential Oils are created by feeding steam through a “charge” of enclosed organic matter. The aromatic vapor flash cools, condensing to liquid form which contains the pure plant chemistry known as essential oil. All distillate material is hand processed to assure the most stable chemistry along with the vibrational frequencies of the plants themselves.

Personal Experience:

Flower Essences: -Is used to help people who have been essentially stripped of a lot of what they hold dear. Sagebrush lives in the desert in the harshest of conditions. (http://www.healingcommunication.com/mamaloveproducts/Sagebrush_Flower_Essence.html)

-Positive qualities: Essential awareness that releases what is extraneous, receptive “emptiness” capable of transformation and change Patterns of imbalance: Over-identification with illusory parts of oneself; cluttered and chaotic attachments; need to release dysfunctional and stifling aspects within the personality or surroundings (FES)

-This is a very cleansing and releasing essence, it facilitates letting go of dysfunctional aspects of the self. This essence can create great transformation and change. It can help bring one to a deep awareness of the inner self, an empty open state where identity is purged. (House of Aromatics)
